USES provides a comprehensive range of Finnfix CMC grades specially developed for use in the paper and board industry. These grades are tailored to meet the specific needs of modern paper manufacturing.
Finnfix CMC grades are used in

Paper and Board Coating
Wet End

Surface Sizing
Special Applications


Finnfix CMC is used effectively independent of coating technology and in a large variety of coating formulations. It is a very cost efficient product. It provides several important properties to the coating colour and ensures high quality of the coated end product even under extreme conditions. The main functions of Finnfix CMC in the coating colour are:

Rheology modifier
OB carrier

Water retention agent
Binding agent


Finnfix CMC is also frequently used in surface sizing of paper and board. Due to its high binding power it improves the paper strength and its film-forming properties regulate the porosity and increases the hold-out. This is the reason why Finnfix CMC is widely used in the production of cigarette papers, silicone base paper, and greaseproof papers and in board for curl control. Additionally, Finnfix CMC controls the rheology of the size solution and imparts water retention.

Special developed Finnfix grades are successfully used in the wet end to

Improve formation
Increase smoothness

Reduce linting
Improve strength properties

Improve retention of the wet strength resin
Reduce porosity

Improve hold-out
